My kid got phished today and they stole his Microsoft account which is his Minecraft account. I know it's not real but it's an absolutely seriously traumatic event for him. MS support to get an account back is essentially non-existant. I am livid how much money they took to gave no customer service

Let’s say you’ve been working at the FBI for years and all the sudden your boss said that the organization requires lowering standards so that they can finally hire people who have been convicted of fucking dogs… would you want to remain employed there?

Since the football season started again I was watching some American tv and learned Arby’s is offering a product called steak nuggets!?! Called shot by Griffin McElroy on that one I guess. That said, trachea sized pieces of Arby’s grade steak seems like a massive choking hazard.

@jackbern.bsky.social RE last night’s prize task: it’s written such that the ranking is of what the TM decides is the best thing that they don’t covet. Should go through two step analysis of “do I want to own this item?” If yes, it doesn’t meet the brief. Then, of the items the TM doesn’t want to

Living in the algarve is great. Love the beaches, the natural beauty, the food… I do wish there were fewer rich white ladies who make their life here about selling a gweneth paltrow-ian view of wellness. Can’t go five minutes without someone asking for €30 to do healing yoga with them in a park

Got booted from the local FB group within a week. Some old man replied to a request for a local moving company by saying the lady came off "rude and arrogant" for not ending request with please. I suggested that he himself could come off that way for chastising a stranger. Alas, old men run facebook

This is the first time I’ve seen an article referring to shotguns loaded with bird shot as “pellet guns.” Usually, when people talk about pellet guns they are referring to the much, much less deadly airsoft guns. Seems like the BBC is making this behavior seem less egregious with this word choice.

I just bought my first pair of reading glasses. The decline continues unabated.

It’s weird that if you need glasses you see something 5 feet away from you you need a doctor appointment, a prescription, and lenses measured to your pupils. If you need glasses to read something 2 feet away you can just grab whatever feels right off a rack in the back of an Aldi.

Some things here in Portugal are so different than my experience in the states. My daughter’s handball league has all participants do a medical exam annually. They brought in a doctor to do the exams and assigned the players time to come in. She got a full exam, inc. an ECG for less than 15 dollars.

We’re in the last day of a family holiday to Porto. It’s been a lovely time. We had great fun, exceptional food, lots of interesting cultural exploration. Kinda wish we hadn’t spent quite as much money though as the kids highlight from the trip was that I let them have the tiniest sip of Super Bock.

Doing a long weekend in Porto. It’s been an exceptional time. Amazing food, beautiful buildings everywhere, charming and friendly people abound. The one meh part was Livaria Lello which was nice but I definitely got my wallet inspected in exchange to see some (admittedly) cool stairs.

I really wish there was a decent app for learning European Portuguese. All the decent language apps focus on Brazilian PT which isn’t helping me at all here. The main app for Euro PT is called Practice Portuguese and it sucks so hard. You spend 22 euros a month for an app that’s a constant pinwheel.

I love that the SSPX were so upset about the developments in Vatican II that a mere 60+ years later they decided to part from the church. Sure the priests and bishops who were around when Vatican II happened are long dead know, but their congregation’s grandchildren yearn for a mass in Latin America

Well I managed to live in Portugal for 10 months before I finally got a francesinha. It was very tasty but between the sandwich and the lunch beer, I could really use a nap.

a Portuguese sandwich, originally from Porto, made with layers of toasted bread and assorted hot meats such as roast, steak, wet-cured ham, linguiça, or chipolata, over which sliced cheese is melted by the ladling of a near-boiling tomato-and-beer sauce called molho de francesinha

I really don’t get how the guys who are really insecure about their masculinity and appearance settled on the name ‘Chad’ as their platonic ideal of manhood. Chad?Every Chad I’ve known has been the kind of guy you could reasonably assume they moderate an eczema support forum in their spare time.
